2 Getting Started
A . Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks, you
must consider the location of:
• Windows
• Air Intakes
• Air Conditioner
• Overhang, so󰀩ts, porch roofs, adjacent walls
• Landscaping, vegetation
• Horizontal or vertical vent termination
2. Floor Support
The supporting oor under the appliance must be able to
handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.
Ensure that your oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add su󰀩cient additional support to meet this
weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 240 lbs.
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Damaged parts could impair safe operation. Do NOT
install damaged, incomplete or substitute components.
CAUTION
If burning shelled eld corn, you must use approved
venting specically designed for corn to prevent
corrosion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the
venting manufacturer.
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector,
re o󰀩cials or authorities having jurisdiction over
restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and oor protection,
before actually beginning the installation. Location of the
appliance and chimney will a󰀨ect performance.
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, tra󰀩c ow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and
to minimize the use of chimney o󰀨sets.
• Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage
for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof
(vertical) or through exterior wall (horizontal).
• Installing the required outside air kit will a󰀨ect the
location of the vent termination.
When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal
location is to vent above roof line when possible. This
minimizes the a󰀨ects of wind loading.

fonction des codes et règlements locaux.
AVIS : Ne placez PAS l'extrémité du conduit d'évacuation :
• À un endroit où les gaz ou la suie évacués du
conduit peuvent pénétrer dans le bâtiment ou
le souiller.
• À un endroit où il peut gêner ou présenter
un danger.
• Dans un endroit clos ou partiellement clos, tels
qu’un abri auto, un garage, un grenier, un plafond
bas, sous une véranda ou près d’un chemin.
• Dans un espace contenu ou tout autre endroit
où les gaz peuvent s’accumuler, tels qu’une
cage d’escalier, un passage couvert entre les
bâtiments, etc.
AVIS : L'extrémité du conduit doit être située au-dessus de la
prise d’air.
• Il est recommandé d’installer au minimum 1,52 m
(60 po) de conduit vertical si l'appareil est évacué
directement à travers un mur. Cela permet d'obtenir
un tirage naturel qui empêche à la fumée ou aux
odeurs d'évacuation de pénétrer dans la maison en
cas de panne de courant.
• Cela évite également que des personnes
ou des buissons soient exposés à des
températures élevées.
• La méthode d’évacuation des gaz la plus sûre et la
meilleure est un conduit vertical traversant le toit ou
au-dessus du toit.

B. Avoiding Smoke and Odors
Negative Pressure, Shut-Down and Electrical Power
Failure
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or burn-back
in the pellet appliance during power failure or shut down
conditions, it must be able to draft naturally without exhaust
blower operation.
Negative pressure in the house will resist this natural draft if
not accounted for in the pellet appliance installation.
Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels. This
air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors which
ows into lower levels of the house.
Vents and chimneys into basements and lower levels of the
house can become the conduit for air supply and reverse
under these conditions.
Outside Air
An outside air kit is recommended in all installations. The
Outside Air Kit must be ordered separately.
Per national building codes, consideration must be given
to combustion air supply to all combustion appliances.
Failure to supply adequate combustion air for all appliance
demands may lead to back-drafting of those and other
appliances.
When the appliance is roof vented (strongly recommended):
The air intake is best located on the exterior wall
oriented towards the prevailing wind direction during
the heating season.
When the appliance is side-wall vented:
The air intake is best located on the same exterior wall
as the exhaust vent outlet and located lower on the wall
than the exhaust vent outlet.
The outside air supply kit can supply most of the demands
of the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given to
the total house demand.
House demand may consume the air needed for the
appliance. It may be necessary to add additional
ventilation to the space in which the pellet appliance is
located.
Consult with your local HVAC professional to determine the
ventilation demands for your house.
CAUTION
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS Appliance TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.
Vent Congurations
When installing a pellet appliance with a horizontal vent
conguration the frequency of power outages should be
considered:
• Power outages during operation will cause the
appliance to immediately turn o󰀨 and may create
conditions where smoke will back draft into the house.
In order to reduce the likelihood of smoke back drafting
into the house during a power outage, Hearth and
Home Technologies strongly suggests:
- Installing the pellet venting with a minimum vertical
run of 5 feet (1.52m).
- Installing the outside air kit at least 4 feet (1.22m)
below the vent termination.
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and
to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:
• Maintain specied clearances to windows, doors and
air inlets, including air conditioners.
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated so󰀩ts.
Run the vent above the roof.
• Avoid venting into alcove locations.
• Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or
onto covered porches.
• Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches (305mm)
from the vent termination to the exterior wall. If you
see deposits developing on the wall, you may need to
extend this distance to accommodate your installation
conditions.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility
for, not does the warranty extend to, smoke damage
caused by reverse drafting of pellet appliances under
shut down or power failure conditions.

C. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air
available for the appliance to operate properly. It can be
strongest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water
appliances and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air
conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
To minimize the e󰀨ects of negative air pressure:
• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing
winds during the heating season
• Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion
appliances and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are
not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and
seams taped or sealed
WARNING
Risk of Asphyxiation!
Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion
fumes and soot.
Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no responsibility
for the improper performance of the chimney system
caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Down drafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
NOTICE
D. Draft
Draft is the pressure di󰀨erence needed to vent an
appliance successfully. When an appliance is drafting
successfully, all combustion byproducts are exiting the
home through the chimney.
Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the re.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
E. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type “L” or “PL” venting system. It can be
vented vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If
using the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit
or the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent O󰀨set Adapter,
use Listed double wall ue connector. A Quadra-Fire
Outside Air Kit must be used with manufactured home
installations.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent
Adapter Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent
O󰀨set Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall
ue connector or Listed double wall ue connector to
Class A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys
meeting International Residential Code standards for
solid fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENTAT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with
at least 3 screws. Also secure all connector pipe joints
with at least 3 screws through each joint.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE
EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS Appliance.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS Appliance TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
